A potent “green” energy source, hydrogen promises clean power but demands not only new science but a workforce with new, high-tech skills.

With a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grant, researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering are searching for materials to enable reliable, long-term hydrogen energy infrastructure. 

Through Florida A&M University, researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering recently secured a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy that ensures a future workforce more reflective of the demographics of the nation. 

The new RENEW program (Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce) develops a strong pipeline for underrepresented minoritized undergraduate and graduate engineering students to pursue the field of applied superconductivity. 

Griffin Bradford, a doctoral student in materials science at Florida State University, received the overall Tony DiBenedetto Student Employee of the Year (SEOTY) for 2023 from the FSU Career Center.

Four materials science and engineering graduate students from Florida State University and the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering were recently named winners of the 2023 James Brooks Symposium oral presentation competition. 

The April 21, 2023 competition was open to students in the interdisciplinary Materials Science and Engineering graduate program at the college. Each student talked about their current research. 

More than a dozen of our FAMU-FSU College of Engineering faculty members have active labs at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Using the world’s most powerful magnet technology, they study everything from human neurobiology to complex fluid mechanics. See what’s behind the scenes at the National “MagLab” just steps from our college.
